We’re happy to hear how you’re enjoying the perk of getting paid each week! Unfortunately, overtime is not available due to the nature of the job, but as schools are starting back up, there is a high demand for substitute teachers. There should be plenty of opportunities to work every day, if you choose to do so. Thanks for your review!

Pros

Always hours available. Decent schools especially Pathfinder

Cons

The pay sucks for the amount of care you put in. Can never get ahold of ESS/Krista. Absolutely no benefits. ESS your just a number they do not care about employees. I’m in school with more college credits but I don’t get paid for my college experience. The schools you work at are mostly great especially pathfinder.
